Wood cutting machines

(10 products)

The wood miter saw is a power tool for cross-cuts and angle cuts on boards, battens, skirting boards, and frames. In our catalog, you will find 10 models of wood miter saws from Güde and Bernardo: sliding miter saws with integrated lasers for wide workpieces, compound miter saws with a circular saw table, and double-bevel models for compound cuts. Blades from 210 to 305 mm, power from 1100 to 2000 W. Prices from €71 to €385 including VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a radial arm saw and a standard miter saw?

The sliding miter saw has a sliding arm that moves back and forth, allowing for cutting wider pieces. A standard miter saw with a 305 mm blade cuts about 120 mm in width, while a sliding model with the same blade can cut up to 320 mm. Sliding miter saws cost more (from €228 vs €71) but are essential for panels and wide boards.

What does dual bevel miter saw mean?

The dual bevel allows the head to be tilted both to the right and left, typically up to 45° per side. It is used for compound cuts on cornices and baseboards without turning the workpiece. The Bernardo ZKG 305 D (€272) has this function. Single bevel miter saws only tilt to one side and cost less.

Which blade diameter to choose: 210, 254 or 305 mm?

All miter saws in the catalog have a chip extraction port (standard diameter 35 mm). For occasional cuts, the included dust collection bag is sufficient. For continuous use in a workshop, an external dust extractor improves visibility, cleanliness, and safety. Extraction also reduces fine dust that can damage the motor over time.

Do I need a dust extractor for the miter saw?

What power is needed to cut hardwood?

For softwoods (fir, pine, poplar), 1100-1400 W is sufficient. For hardwoods (oak, beech, ash), at least 1800-2000 W is needed to prevent slowdowns and overheating. The GRK 2534.1 BSL (€279) has 2000 W and is the best choice for hardwoods. The GKS 2134.1 with 1100 W (€71) is only suitable for softwoods.

How much does a professional wood miter saw cost?

In the catalog, professional miter saws range from €279 to €385. The GRK 2534.1 BSL (€279) is the best value for money with 2000 W and laser. The GRK 3034.1 BSL (€384) and the Bernardo ZKG 305 S (€385) are for heavy-duty use with a 305 mm blade. For hobbyists, the GKS 2134.1 at €71 is sufficient for occasional tasks.

Sliding Compound Miter Saws with Laser

The sliding compound miter saw for wood has a sliding arm that allows cutting wider panels and boards compared to fixed miter saws. The 6 sliding models in the catalog (GRK, GFO, and ZKG series) all have an integrated laser to display the cutting line before lowering the blade. The GRK 2134.1 BSL (€228) is the entry-level model with a 210 mm blade and 1400 W. The GRK 2534.1 BSL (€279) goes up to 2000 W for hard woods. The GRK 3034.1 BSL (€384) features a 305 mm blade for larger cutting capacities. The Bernardo ZKG 305 S (€385) is the top-of-the-range professional sliding compound miter saw with a reinforced structure.

Combined Miter Saws with Table

The combined miter saw for wood integrates two functions: a miter saw with a lowering arm and a table saw with an upper table. Models TKGS 210 (€314) and TKGS 254.2 (€353) allow for both cross cuts and rip cuts on battens and panels, reducing space requirements in the workshop. The integrated laser guides both cutting modes. This is for those looking for a multifunctional wood miter saw without buying two separate machines.

How to choose your miter saw

Entry-level (€71): The GKS 2134.1 with 1100 W is compact and suitable for hobbyists for occasional cuts on soft wood. Prosumer (€228-€353): The GRK sliding models and TKGS combined models cover most of the needs of artisans and small woodworking shops. Professional (€380+): The GFO 1801, GFO 1401, and Bernardo ZKG 305 S offer higher power, more rigid structures, and greater cutting capacities for intensive use. The ZKG 305 D (€272) with double bevel is ideal for frames and baseboards with compound angles.

All miter saws have a dust extraction port. For prolonged work, connect a dust extractor to keep the work area clean. For rip cuts on large panels, consider table saws. Discover all available woodworking machines.
